I just replaced my cam and crank positioning sensors, and it does the same by thing. It gets up to normal operating temperature shuts down and won't start. It acts like it is not getting any gas, by it turns over but won't start. If press pedal the gas to the floor it will act like it wants to start as soon as I let off the gas it does. Before I changed the sensors my check engine light was on, now it's not. Do you have any idea what the problem is? Thank you.

I have seen the coolant temperature sensor cause this issue, but to be sure when the car won't start. Unplugging the sensor and try to start it if it starts, replace the sensor. Here is the location in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
